Frankly I'm hoping to have real F-type engine noises under my right foot one day (and a clutch pedal under my left at the same time, if Jaguar keeps its word), but I've also driven a Tesla and it's pretty darn quiet in there, really just tire sounds. If I could have an electric for commuter-type purposes also, a…

How about they investigate how the Tesla enabled a driver to survive a 100 mph crash?

What?!
Again with the Tesla innuendo!
Porsche GT split in 2 and killed both Paul Walker and the fucker driver. Nobody bats an eye... the wife of the driver wanted something but irrelevant...
Other +100mph accidents explode cars on a regular basis..nobody bats an eye.

Turbo 400 is the GM TH400 automatic transmission. Found behind trucks that were big block powered or 3/4 ton and heavy cars. Generally considered indestructible from the factory in some vehicles.

So if I went to get my picture taken with a full beard and a full head of hair and then immediately after the picture was taken went home and shaved my head and beard I would be in violation of this policy?

Hence why I said hope, rather than expect.

unfortunately as the third law of the internet states, "Any individual from a place is a wholly representative sample of that place. Therefore, any place may be rightfully judged as a whole by the actions of any individual therein."

Came here to say this. An automatic has a torque converter. If it doesn't have a torque converter it isn't an 'automatic'. There are really three different types of transmissions.

This is a pretty fucking effective piece of marketing. Good job, Ford.

This is the first time Ford has deployed prototype vehicles to customers so far in advance of a product launch for extensive customer testing.

In October I will be going to Japan to see a friend who owns an extremely high end car dealership in Osaka. He plans to have acquired an F1 by then, and has invited me for a photo shoot/test drive with it, so as to help with the sale of it.

An uncle of mine *almost* bought one. He had been a Honda guy throughout his entire life. His first car was a first-gen Accord 3-door, which got him through college, and lasted almost 250k miles of moronic adolescent abuse. His next car was another Accord, bought in 1987. When he got a huge promotion, he wanted to…

Stupid is right. The Daily Mail story does not say Health and Safety banned those things, it says heath and safety was the reason. That's called sensationalizing, and it's why the DM should never be used as a source.

Not necessarily a great story, but my first day at my job in the UK involved a 4 hour health and safety 'tour' of the building, because the big green signs everywhere marking the fire exits weren't obvious enough. We also had a health and safety audit, during which time a bunch of neo-nazis patrolled the building and…

When you bought a new Clio and get home only to realize that the shed you built for your Le Car is too small.

People, people. It does not matter how they look. It matters that they are seen. Safety trumps style in this case.

The truck appears to be in the colours of Eddie Stobart see pic here one of Britain's biggest haulage companies, so it is unlikely that there is some theft or scam going on here.

It is true. Chrome plating is very brittle and prone to nucleating fatigue cracks, which then propagate into the wheel. That's why you almost never see chrome on anything subjected to cyclic loading.
